Made for More than Mammon

You and I were made for more than mammon? Let us then use wealth wisely in light of eternity, stewarding resources faithfully as those accountable to God, resting ultimately in Christ, our true and lasting treasure. Trusting in Christ alone, examine your heart and ask yourself: Am I investing my resources in what will last forever? Am I faithful with what God has entrusted to me today? Is Christ truly my treasure—or merely an addition to it? The call of Christ Jesus is clear and uncompromising: “You cannot serve God and mammon.” And let us thank God this is true! For He offers us something far greater than wealth—Himself. And in Him, we find riches that cannot fade, cannot fail, and cannot be taken away.

A Gospel Ministry

This is how Christ builds his kingdom, through the faithful preaching of the Word and sacraments, through the diverse use of our gifts in service, and through our tithes and offerings. It sounds remarkably ordinary, and it is, but God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; what is weak to shame the strong; what is low and despised to build Christ’s church, that in it and through it he might be glorified. All glory be to Christ!
